Look beyond the guided path

The outback is a special place, a harsh place, but worth every moment and anyone living in or visiting Australia should go. I call it real Australia. Sure, the beach and the surf life is great but the majesty and wonder of the Mars like red sands and the geological rock formations are magical and…Read more Look beyond the guided path

Tokyo

I recently went to Japan. I think I might be in love! Japanese culture always fascinated me so when the chance came up to drop in to Tokyo for a few days, I took it. With both hands. Japan is a rich with old heritage and modern technology. As a sci-fi movie fan, it was…Read more Tokyo

Getting wide on it

I've been slack in posting content, real slack. But I have taken a shed load of pictures so today I will focus on my new love, my Sigma 10-20mm f4.5 lens. Lena rental might be my new best friend. I'd not really considered it before but decided to take a look at hiring a wide…Read more Getting wide on it

What’s in my bag?

I promised to pick up my slack posting and didn't. So I am back and going to get back on it with a picture of the gear I take out on a shoot (I know, another one of those posts!). I've recently been on a few shoots with people around Melbourne and the question came…Read more What’s in my bag?

World tourism day

There is a myth around the world of travel that it is all glamour and glory. The truth is that beyond the fringes of our social media accounts, a travellers life is anything but glamorous. Travel hails from the word 'travail' which means to journey, laboriously, over distance. The glamour associated with travel has been…Read more World tourism day

Inspiration

Sometimes...exactly how I feel when firing up the Mac to edit a video, photo, book etc. I found the feature picture in the tea room at the National Gallery of Victoria. Staying inspired can be tough. Projects come and go, some never become more than an idea in a sketch book but keep plugging away.…Read more Inspiration

I cracked it!

Projects come and go but titles? It's like trying to name a baby and having a fundamental disagreement with your partner 4 life about whether it should be Maximus or Bruce... Anyway, I have been taking photos within photos and wanted a name for it. The problem was there were many facets to the one…Read more I cracked it!

Life in Mobile: Coffee time!

I love coffee. I love photography. I love philosophy. Today I thought about all three down at Prahran Market with a little coffee at Jaspers Coffee. Did you know the average life is about 650,000 hours long? I calculated how many hours old I was on my 27th birthday, then subtracted the approximate number of…Read more Life in Mobile: Coffee time!

What a difference an hour makes!

I went back to bed when I heard the rain this morning. My first free day in what feels like weeks, ruined by the sound of torrential downpour. My plans to hit the streets hard and take pictures in ruins. Looking up at the southern cross system on the ceiling I decided to suck it…Read more What a difference an hour makes!

Tourist photos alert!

Forgive me for I have been doing the touristy thing. I did, however, manage to capture my favourite picture of my trip so far, the one of the planets dancing above the Sydney habour. People ask me what sort of photographer I am, am I a street photographer, landscape, fine art etc etc. I don't…Read more Tourist photos alert!
